The western Settlers Chosen Spe-
 eifsc


 With every advance of emigration into the far West, new demand is created for Hostetter's Stomach Bit ters. Newly peopled regions are fre- quently less salubrious than older settled localities, on account of the miasma which rises from recently cleared land, particularly along the banks of rivers that are subject to treshets. The agricultural or mining emigrant soon learns, when he does not already know, that the Bitters afford the only sure protection against malaria, and those disorders of the stomach, liver and bowels, to which climate changes, exposure, and un- accustomed or unhealthy water or diet subject him. Consequently, he places an estimate upon this great household specific and preventive commensurate with it's intrinsic mer- its, and is careful to keep on hand a restorative and promoter of health so implicitly to be relied upon in time of need.

Tomas Rico, who was arrested and fined last week for discharg- ing firearms within the town limits, Is again in trouble, this time of a far more serious char acter. Tomas, in the guise of a gay Lothario, won the affections of 12-year old girl of Morenci and succeeded in not only be- coming possessed of her heart, but also of her person. Com plaint being made before Justice Cast, Tomas was allowed to plead guilty and received fine of S64, which he paid and was allowed to go free. He was immediately taken in charge by Constable Smith of Clifton, however, and brought here where q warrant was sworn out charging him with rape. His examination was held before Justice Blank Monday, A. NJ. Pat terson appearing for the people, Rico conducting his own case. The defendant unblushingly ad- mitted the commission of the act, but put in defense consent and previous conviction. Judge Pat terson, however, convinced the Justice that consent on the part of child did not lessen the crime and that pleading guilty to q charge of seduction did not re- lieve him from the consequence of a more serious crime. Justice Blank held the defendant to ap- pear before the Grand Jury under bonds, and Rico will have to rustic S2500 to keep himself from spend ing at least the next three months at Solomonville.

SHOT TO DEATH.-Fred. Hopt, alias
Welcome" was shot to death in the yard
of the penitentiary, four miles from Salt
Lake, yesterday. The firing party consist
ed of five men with rifles. A rosette was
pinned over Hopt's heart, and he was told
that he would not be mutilated unless he
flinched. The condemned man showed the
utmost firmness, and said he forgave every
body, but if he had got fair show on the first
trial he would not be there to day. he
came out of his cell smoking cigar and
kept it in his mouth to the last. He posed
as for photograph, seated on chair upon
u blanket. Marshal Dyer gave the word
Ready, fire." the crack of five rifles rang
: out as one, and the rigid body of the dead
man fell forward. Two bullets pierced the
small rosette pinned over his heart. Death
was instantaneous. The case is famous
one In Utah and Wyoming owing to its
atrocious circumstances. John +. Turner,
son of the sheriff of Utah county, Utah, en-
gagged Hopt to drive one of his two teams.
Hopt and companion murdered Turner
while asleep by beating his brains out with
az axe, and then sold the teams and outfit
and had gay time at Cheyenne with the pro-
ceeds. BE was arrested by Sheriff Turner,
father of the murdered man, who also pro-
tected him from lynching. Hopt was four
times convicted, but escaped on legal tech
nicalities three times. He was given his
choice between shooting and hanging.
